The juice was fermented in French oak barriques, with a combination of indigenous and cultured yeast, followed by extended barrel ageing on yeast lees. Rich straw gold in colour, aromas are intense and complex displaying nectarine, apricot and mandarin peel integrated with vanilla pod and hazelnut from the French oak influence. The palate shows ripe stone fruit flavours of nectarine, peach and dried apricot, integrated with a flinty minerality and subtle French oak influence giving hints of roasted hazelnut. A well-structured and seamless wine with excellent length and complexity.

Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest wine growing region. It has an enviable international reputation for producing the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world. It also makes very good Chardonnay, Riesling and high quality Pinot Noir.
At over twenty thousand hectares of grapes the region accounts for approximately 2/3 of New Zealand’s wine plantings, of which Sauvignon Blanc vines dominate. Lots of sun, cool nights, low autumn rains and free draining alluvial soils combine to make Marlborough one of the world’s great wine producing regions
